Jenni Rivers, "Petals"

Jenni Rivers is an accomplished artist and writer living in Sugarloaf, Pennsylvania. She has received several awards in juried local galleries. Her subject matter tends to be emotionally expressive and detailed with an emphasis on feminine characters and fantasy. Currently she is working on a two year degree in painting and illustration with hopes to transfer to a four year school to complete another art degree and a minor in writing. Inspired by a week long hospitalization at a mental institution, she focuses on art and the written word as an outlet. She aspires to one day work as an art therapist so she may help others who struggles as she has.
